Proppfrexx and Omnia 9/EX

Post by geiszzz »

Hi,

I am trying to send metadata (artist/title) from Proppfrexx to Omnia 9/EX.
I tried it via Events/Commands, Streaming, OnServerStarted and OnSongTitleChanged.
I used the EXEC_SEND_HTTP_GET and EXEC_SEND_HTTP_POST command.
Unfortunately It won't work. What did i do wrong?

Can anyone tell me how I can fix this problem? I tried and searched the forum and google, but no results.

Thanks!

You mean stream protocol?

No, the protocol in order to update the meta data. Looks like you wanted to do that?!
What was the exact command you used?
And what is the format that the Omnia expects?

I am not an expert but I can tell you that this is what is in the Omnia brochure:
Example: http://127.0.0.1:7380/parameter/pgm_0/e ... %20Running

And I used this command in RadioDJ and that worked for Omnia 9/EX:

Now I want to do this in Proppfrexx. I tried but gave up after 4hrs of testing.

I hope I gave enough information?

So that looks like HTTP GET.
What command did you try so far?

It could be something like this:

Action: EXEC_SEND_HTTP_GET
Parameter: http://127.0.0.1:7380?/parameter/pgm_0/ ... t}-${title}

I don't know what happened but after the problems with Omnia 9/EX, I decided to use the stream option within Proppfrexx to connect to my streamprovider (with the Stereotool VST plugin as soundprocessor), because that option showed artist and title without a problem. So I didn't use Omnia 9/ex anymore.

An hour ago I disconnected and decided to try again with Omnia 9/EX. Now I use the stream option in Omnia 9/EX to connect to my streamprovider and guess what.......... I see artist and title and have no problems at all.


Very strange, but I now have the result I wanted :-)

Is it possible that Proppfrexx stays connnected to my streamprovider, although Proppfrexx is not connected with the shoutcast server of my streamprovider?

It seems like Proppfrexx still delivers metadata. When I log in to my streamprovider I see the complete songhistory even when the stream options in Proppfrexx and Omnia 9/EX are disconnected. It still refreshes.

Yes, if you selected the 'Force Update' option in the streaming server settings, that is exactly what this option is used for.
For more details, click the '?' icon at the top right of the streaming server dialog to get more info.
